It’s October, so in the spirit of Halloween, let’s take a little time to talk about superstition. Weddings bring out all kinds of nerves, hopes, and predictions for the future. It’s only natural that they have a long history of superstition attached to them. A wedding is the start of a couple’s lives together. You invest a whole lot of time, money, and care into that day and the life you plan to build beyond it. It makes perfect sense to look for signs of prosperity or participate in traditions that are supposed to create good luck, whether they change anything or not.

Last month, May 2024, I had the privilege of working with some incredible clients on their romantic garden themed wedding. It was such an amazing planning process and the wedding day was an absolute blast. When thinking about what part of their day I wanted to share about I realized that all of the details of the day would not have even been possible without all of the incredible vendors. I think it can be easy to look at a photo from a wedding and think wow that's really pretty, and it is, but it’s more than that. It takes so many people to make those pretty things happen. So this is a huge thank you to all of the wonderful vendors that made Shelby and Keegen’s wedding celebration possible.

The idea of birth flowers dates back to ancient Rome, around the same time birthdays began being celebrated. Alongside Zodiac signs and birthstones, birth flowers are a way to celebrate specific characteristics about each and every one of us!

When planning a wedding, there seem to be an innumerable amount of decisions that have to be made. Some big, some small. Some exciting, some dull. It can all be overwhelming.

My goal is to give some tips and inspiration to make the experience of choosing your color palette more enjoyable.
